20 June 2014 as far as Income-tax Act is concerned, you can avoid charging given that either:

1. the asset is purchased out of capital contributions and not routed through the profit & Loss A/c

or

2. bought out of general donations and deduction claimed at 100% in the first year itself.

nevertheless, the debate has always been on whether the charitable organization allowed to claim depreciation even if the 100% deduction has already been claimed. On this question it has been repeatedly held that you can do so.
